..... . Mr. Shohit Chaudhry, Advocate for R-2 ORDER 21.12.2023 : I.A. No.6073 of 2023 : This is an application praying for condonation of 15 days' delay in filing the Appeal. The order impugned was passed on 18.09.2023 and this appeal has been filed on 02.11.2023.

Thus, the minimum mandatory component in the Resolution Plan was only a reflection of the actual money, including upfront payment, which would go towards the FC(s). As discussed previously, the final Resolution Plan provided for the monetization proceeds of the land as also the avoidance amounts to go to the FC(s) of the Corporate Debtor." 8.
